Professional Development of Exercise Physiology

Boone (exercise physiology, College of Saint Scholastica) offers a systematic look at the occupational issues of exercise physiologists, and offers recommendations for further professionalizing the field. He considers exercise physiology's questionable status as a profession and as an academic discipline, and discusses the career opportunities available to those with degrees in the field. Chapters address the development of a profession, barriers to professionalization, unity and self-regulation, credibility, titles, leadership, and credentials.
